Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hi All
I am right at the start of planning to reclaim my PPI and interest paid.
I have a single Premium policy.
I have already put in a CCA request and have received an enforceable agreement, however, what I'm unsure of is whether they have charged the PPI incorrectly? Please see attached.
I know from reading a few other threads that there have been elements of misselling involved in my own case.
a) Told that I stood more of a chance of success if I took the PPI with the loan.
b) attempted to cancel the PPI soon after payments started and was told that I would have to take out an additional loan in order to do so.
Can someone please advise on my next move, should I obtain these details before writing to the bank?
I would suggest your next move is to submit a Subject access request as per the Data Protection Act 1998 this will entitle you to ask for all data the Halifax hold on you as a data subject. Please see this link.....
You will need to send the statutory fee of £10.00 but insist on every bit of data they hold in whatever format, paper, electronic, CD, microfische tapes of telephone calls or transcripts of the calls etc.
For legal issues relating to Data Protection check this link...Lots of very useful info in understandable terms. Data Protection | OUT-LAW.COM
it includes the following and much much more Negotiating with the Data Subject (This should be important to Banks)
At this stage, it is advisable to negotiate with the data subject. The location information the data subject will have already given will give a clue as to what it is the data subject really wants to have information about. The benefit of the Data Protection Act 1998 is that it allows data controllers to negotiate with data subjects to get the data subject to specify the exact information he or she wishes to receive.
The data controller is entitled to ask for a fee of £10 and two further pieces of information. Firstly, the data controller must satisfy himself that the person making the request is, in fact, the data subject. The use of a subject access request form is advised, since the greatest breach of a data controller's security is for the data controller to satisfy a subject access request made by a person impersonating the data subject. The use of the form goes towards proving that the data controller has adequate identification and verification procedures in place. Secondly, the data controller is entitled to ask the data subject for further information to enable the data controller to locate the information which that person seeks.
When the last of these three pieces of information has been obtained, the forty day period starts to run. It is advisable to put procedures in place to ensure that the receipt of the request and the further information is correctly dated so that an organisation knows how long it has to satisfy the subject access request.
However, if the data subject is adamant that he or she wishes to receive a copy of everything the data controller holds on him or her, then there is very little the data controller can do about this, and a completely exhaustive search of the computerised and manually held data in the organisation will be required. (nice to know what you see in the Act is what you get)
All of the above and much more in here.............
I have no legal training and the advice I offer is a matter of support. Before you commit to any Legal action you are advised to contact a qualified legal practitioner. ------------------------------------------------

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.
Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.
